Maverick Update: Disabled Email and Office Mac Software

Has anyone else experienced this. I cant send emails and I now cant use any of the Office Mac 2011 software utilities like excel, powerpoint, word. I am at my wits end I have been to the Apple stores in Sydney twice now to try to resolve this and each time walked away with no resolution. I am running two businesses from my Mac Book Pro - I am absolutely beside myself trying to work out what to do.

Latest Mavericks update disables drag and drop

Ever since the latest Mavericks update came out, I've not been able to use drag and drop out of Chrome and now out of Image Capture. I've trashed the plist file for Finder with no results. Does anyone have a fix?
I have to say, I want Mountain Lion stability back. Please.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

Thanks for your help.

Here is some info from the contents of my VPC boxes.

Help! Performed software update, now emails and account info gone.

Yesterday morning I performed the software update (Java, couple of security updates, QuickTime), and restarted.
Essentially, every e-mail received between early November 2006 and yesterday is gone. All folders created since then (and since I have started a new business, there are a lot), as well as new account info (new provider for second business, separate from first) is gone, or at least missing in action.
I've been backing up monthly, but for some reason there is no backup since one in January, and Backup (the software I've been using) apparently can't restore even that one – not that that will solve more than a small part of the problem.
ANY suggestions on retrieving the missing emails will be gratefully received, as well as any ideas on how this happened in the first place.

Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s "Important: Please read before installing" warnings, etc.
Although you may have lost the account settings as a result of some preferences file corruption, you shouldn’t have lost any actual messages or mailboxes. Have you tried searching for them in Spotlight? In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Can you see the missing mail there?
If the messages have really been deleted for some reason, and they are not on the server and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.
And you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described in the following article, in case there is something amiss in the filesystem that has a bearing on what happened:

Screen Frozen while updating OS X and have INCOMPATIBLE SOFTWARE

I was updating to OS X and received message INCOMPATIBLE SOFTWARE -- It has been moved to Incompatible SOftware Folder, but the screen is FROZEN and I AM STUCK

Hi ParamountJon,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac stopped responding during an OS X update, first see if you can force quit unresponsive applications:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
If you're not able to force quit applications, you may need to restart the computer by holding down the power button. I recommend performing a Safe Boot when you start up again:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Safe Mode is a way to start up your Mac that performs certain checks and prevents certain software from automatically loading or opening.
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
For more information about incompatible software, see this article:
OS X: About the incompatible software folder

All the best,
Jeremy

Can't send or delete an email in Office: Mac/Outlook

I know this isn't a purely Apple question, but I have nowhere else to turn. Microsoft has the lousiest website and customer support on the planet.
In Office: Mac, Outlook, for some reason. there is a hidden email (that doesn't appear in my Drafts folder) that I cannot locate or delete. Every time I click my Send/Receive button, it tries to send the file, then I get this error message. This has been occurring for weeks, and I can't find the email to delete it. Any solutions?

Yahoo just updated my email and now the buttons on the left side are letters, not buttons. What happened and how do I fix it?

I like my Yahoo email, but they just updated it again and things are different again. Where there used to be buttons on the left side of my mail page to select for move, delete, or whatever, now there are rectangles with letters in them. They act the same, but are very distracting. How do I change it back so there is just a box to check?

Those missing icons are actually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can see by the little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

Connect home and office Macs - how?

I have a two Mac Airport network at the office and a Mac at home; all 10.4.6. I now have a static IP addresses at each location (same ISP). I'd like to be able to log into my computer at the office (I am admin on both at the office) from home, open documents, work on them, and then save them back to my office computer (I don't need to log into my assistant's computer from home). I know it's possible to do, but I don't know how and can't find anything giving me understandable, step-by-step instructions on how to "connect to server" or whatever one does to access an off site computer. I've been using Macs since 1984, but am by no means technicaally oriented. Firewalls and FTP Access and Remote Login and everything else in that part of Preferences scares me. I don't want to do something and lose my office wireless connection.
Can anyone offer a step-by-step, understandable cookbook method of how I might log in to the office from home?
Thanks!

In reply:
Summing up, the first steps to take are:
1. (As) Detailed (as possible) description of your
home/office networks. This means:
a) Network flow: how many devices are on each network
and how they're connected: i.e.
DSLModem-->Router-->MacG5-->iMacG4-->Printer
Office - 2 devices -iMac and eMac G4 (10.4.6); Cable>Router>Dual Ethernet AirPort; Printer out of AirPort.
Home - no network - Cable>Router>iBook G3>printer
b) Broadband connection info: DSL/cable/satelite? You
already stated that you have Static IPs (that's good,
everything will be easier + more reliable)
Cable
c) TCP/IP settings for your Macs (connection type:
DHCP/manually etc). You can also take screenshots of
the TCP/IP settings and post 'em here as this is
better for us to spot any wrong settings. To find the
TCP/IP settings for each Mac: System
Preferences-->Network-->AirPort/Ethernet-->TCP/IP
Office - Configure Using DHCP; IP Address and Subnet Mask and Router are all established (my ISP who is a Mac freak set this up for me); I believe the office and home are the same except at home the connection is by ethernet and not an AirPort
d) Familiarize yourself with your routers (or
modem/router combo), how to log-in to your router's
configuration pages (consult the router's manual).
Also, post info on make/model of your router(s)
This was all set up by my ISP and cable company; I have no manuals; any modem trouble, they come fix. The modems are Scientific-Atlanta "Webstar"
2. Description of the kind of work you want to do via
your home/office network.
Mostly word processing - I am a professional. I like to work at home nights and wekends and end up burning and toting CD-RW's, then sometimes after I get home and realize I need to look at another folder, or a document from another client file that might have research on it that would be useful to the project I'm working on, I either have to set everything down or drive back to the office and burn another disc. If I could remotely log into "Joe Smith's" client file on my office computer from home, and look at a document similar to what I'm doing for "Sally Jones" at home, the time savings would be tremendous.
You can also take a look @
Apple's Remote Desktop solution. It's not free, but
provides a solution for joining networks like yours
and a nice interface to go through most of the
settings. Check the specs and see for yourself.

How do I Uninstall Office:mac software?

Inside the Office main folder is a folder containing the uninstaller. Use it to remove Office.

IPod Touch, update 2.0 and Pismo Mac

I have been searching for answers, tried many potential remedies, and nothing has done the trick--here is where I am at--
I have an 8gb iPod touch--it would not work at all with my 400mhz Pismo through USB 1.1 (got the 0xE8000001 error message). So, I put the IPT into recovery mode and re-installed the software on it (1.5.1). It showed up in iTunes after that and let me transfer music and such.
Then, I went ahead and purchased the 2.0 update--it downloaded fine, went through the install, but then as the IPT restarted to finish the install process, iTunes gave me the 0xE8000001 error again.
I then connected the IPT to my iMac 500mhz computer on a USB 1.1 port with a powered 2.0 hub. I put the IPT into recovery mode and installed 2.0 anew. It was recognized by my iMac and works great, albeit a bit slow.
I then purchased a USB 2.0 PCI card for my Pismo. Either directly connected to the card, or via a powered 2.0 hub, I get the 0xE8000001 error. My question is, how can I get my Pismo to recognize my IPT? I am running 10.4.11 and have all the updates that Software Update offers--
Help

As I see it, there are three things different between the iMac (where it works) and the Pismo.
1. The hardware is different - Nothing you can do about that.
2. The user account is different - As a test, create a new admin user in System Preferences Accounts pane. Log out and log in to the new user account. See if it works under the new user. First, try the iPod using the built-in USB ports, where you say it worked before.
3. The system installation is different - You can try installing a fresh installation of Mac OS X on an external FireWire drive and booting from it. After updating the installation to 10.4.11 and the latest Apple apps, try the iPod using the built-in USB ports, where you say it worked before. This will also give you a fresh installation of the latest iTunes to try it with, in case your current iTunes installation has some unknown problem.
As an alternative to (3), you can start up the iMac in FireWire Target Disk Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Connect it to the Pismo using a FireWire cable, and the iMac's hard drive should appear as an external drive. Using System Preferences +Startup Disk+ pane, set the startup disk to be the iMac's hard drive. Restart. See if it works with the iPod when using the same system installation that works on the iMac.

10.4.7 update disabled email

Anyone else having trouble with email after the 10.4.7 update? My Mac Mail and Entourage both time out without connecting to the servers. Reverting back to 10.4.6 or 10.4.5 solves the problem.

No problems on multiple Macs running 10.4.7 and Entourage. Don't know what the problem is but it's not 10.4.7.

I have updated my MacBook and all the software, but once I click on iPhoto it asked me to update. I just updated everything and till now I can't use any of it. Any reason?

I open the iPhoto and the software update prompt up, telling me to update to the latest version, so I did. After updating everything, I tried to open it again the same thing happen. So I went to the software update and click it the was a prompt up telling that the softwares are up to date. So what do I do?

Go to
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
Find and download the 9.1 updater. Run it. Then Run Software update again.
Regards
TD
